Gliding Slowly into the Body of Origin is an interactive work  for live voice improvisation, prerecorded soundfiles, software environment created in MAX, the SOMO controller, narrated text and spatlization.  It was commissioned by New Adventures in Sound Art (NAISA) through the Ontario Arts Council, and was performed on August 22, 2015 as part of NAISA's Sound Travels concert.  Through the performance process, the piece becomes a rewilding of self as a response to the patriarchal agenda of socializing the body out of its own knowledge of itself. 

Performers include:  Wendalyn Bartley (improvised vocalizations and digital processing on the SOMO controller); Ruth Danziger (spoken texts); Ian Jarvis (Max interactive environment; Darren Copeland (live spatialization).  

The spoken texts juxtapose two sources, with editorial assistance from Ruth Danziger:  Gliding Slowly phrases written and compiled  by Wendalyn Bartley; excerpts from the journals of Annie Raison Parry (1928-29).  Annie is Wendalyn's great grandmother.   

SPOKEN TEXTS: 

Gliding Slowly to the Body of Origin

Gliding Slowly 1:

And she began to move
To move in a new way
Gliding slowly
Slowly gliding
Listening to her flesh, the pulse within, her cells, her breath, her lips, her tongue, her mouth, her throat

Annie Journals 1:

Weather hot and sultry
Canned 5 quart peas.
Stan finished drawing in wheat - started cutting more oats
Fine harvest weather
Dorothy started vocal lessons again. $1.00 per lesson
Went to Dee's and spent the afternoon listening over the radio
Pa died this morning about 6 o'clock
Poured down rain most all day
Picked what apples there was and a tree of pears
Cliff Eichenburg brought up a Westinghouse radio and set it up on trial
Weather cold as greenland sharp high wind
We worked at quilts today - too cold to wash
Grand winter day 

Gliding Slowly 2:

Listening and gliding
Listening to the pulse within the terrain of her body.
Memories returning
Voices rising
Gliding wild and free
Dreaming of distant grandmothers
Listening gliding
Slowly
Slowly gliding

Gliding Slowly 3a:

Watery sirens calling 
Calling her into form
She becomes the pulse
The bone, blood, sinew, cells, skin, new being

Annie Journals 2:

Roads are terrible. Cars getting stuck in mud holes all day.
Dorothy drove Topsy to town and got the Radio Battery
Pretty good sap day. Linus is tapping this week.
Stanley sowed the first piece of oats this afternoon
Weather seems more settled and fair for seeding
Elsie finished working her quilt blocks today
Our batteries are running down can't get much music tonight
Dorothy went to choir practice at the church
Cora's Birthday 34 years old
Stanley and Dorothy milked the cows alone
Fine, clear and moonlight 

Gliding Slowly 3b:

Dark serpent Lilith rising
Returned from exile
She opens her mouth and draws them in
Fiery tongues and slippery tails
Bringing her back to her body of birth
Body of origin, Body of voice

Annie Journals 3:

Very hot day rains going around
Radio on the blink again
Cora has a fat baby girl born around 1 o'clock this morning.
The girls done another wash and they dried lovely
Labour Day holiday - first trip for the new baby girl, coming to Grandma's.
Hot dry and dusty
Myrt fixed up our Radio so it's working fine.
Stanley got the milk cheque
We heard Howard Ferguson, the Ontarios Prime Minister speak over the radio tonight 
Stan dug the rest of the potatoes and got them in after milking
The black sow had 13 pigs this morning
Thunderstorms

Gliding Slowly 4:

Listening
Sounding cellular intelligence within
Skin, cells...
Gliding slowly she comes back
To her body of birth
Body of origin
Back to the one who is Laden with Voice

Slowly gliding
A pulse beneath her feet
Gliding slowly
Back to her body
Her body of origin
Magna Mater, Prima Materia,
MA

La obra pone en manifiesto el periplo de una maquina incógnita concebida como un multi-objeto. Lo curioso es que el viaje de esta maquina sucede atraves de diferentes capas pertenecientes a una estratigrafía imaginaria, es decir que va perforando y explorando los recovecos ocultos de la imaginación. La maquina funciona como un leitmotiv que articula las distintas secciones . La estructura de la obra esta sujeta al periplo anteriormente mencionado. Desde el comienzo hasta el minuto 5  ́ 25  ́ ́ se transita por cuatro estratos, y es a partir de aquí , que emerge el quinto y ultimo estadio, como un ensueño al que se le reserva la mayor profundidad en el espacio interno de toda la obra, en analogía a la zona de mayor profundidad de nuestra imaginación. Luego de esta sección, un rallentando anuncia el retorno a la realidad. El motor de la maquina se detiene en el final de la obra.

The release represents a complete rethink about what it means to compile and commission music in the streaming era – and the tracks and seductively dark atmospheres conjured as a result are exploring all kinds of new sonic territory, too. In short, the cream of leftfield electronic talent have been given a brief: to take the phrase “in Death's dream kingdom”, or the whole of T.S. Eliot's poem The Hollow Men from which it comes, as inspiration.

"Thinking about Eliot’s poem I kept coming back to a thought: why do we insist on using narrative in place of what is actually going on? Rilke had it wrong perhaps: angels aren’t terrible because of how brightly they burn and so consume us, but because of how much we would burn for them in our wild fits of restlessness and searching. We construct so dearly our kingdoms of dream and death, thinking this is who we are. But no next words will help – there is no more truth in those words unhappened than with these now disappearing ones. So this song might be a hymn to an unstory: our rooms are false, and the angels aren’t terrible but the likeness we search for them in surely is." ~ Ian William Craig

The resulting 25 tracks will be released, day by day, together with further artist information, to build into the full work. Not an album in the traditional sense, certainly more than just a playlist, it brings together a seriously diverse array of talents into a coherent whole with a vivid aesthetic reverberating through it. It occupies a similar space to the great home listening electronica acts of the 90s – Future Sound Of London, Global Communication, the Artificial Intelligence axis – but there are no throwbacks here: this is radical in sound and thought. Dark music for dark times.

25 TRACK COMP

Ian William Craig - An End Of Rooms (Full Track)

A small piece, sound-collage if you want, based on the pitched-down sounds of a threadbare vinyl recording of Beethoven’s sonatas (27 Nr. 2, 13, 57—not the best interpretations TBH) randomly found on Puławska street in Warsaw during a heavy rain around a year ago, as well as various other sonic percepts collected between approximately 2014 and 2017.

With Fire In Their Hearts And Snow On Their Clothes

This movement is a short, dense piece that explores the relationship between natural and unnatural sounds. Sounds have been carefully shaped and sculpted to grow organically from one and other, creating a natural flow and evolution to the piece that slowly increases in density through the layering of spectral space. #SoundSculptures

Ancestor I - 002 Torso (Full Length)

This opening movement considers the abstracted forms of landscape, colour and texture. The resonant sounds emanate its hollow, cave-like form with sounds of the sea and water referencing the blue-green paint found in its cavities, evoking sea-filling pools and caves along the Cornish coast. #SoundSculptures

A collection of found sound objects originally explored in an hands-on creative workshop exploring sound, object and mark making. This workshop was a collaboration between sound artist Emma Margetson, The Barber Collective and The Barber Institute of Fine Arts Learning and Engagement Team. The recorded found sound objects from this workshop were repurposed for this eight-channel composition, Abstracted Objects.

This piece is based on two samples and their distortions. Trying to expand the imaginary space behind the acoustic sound and describe a healed state of mind.
